Risk of Thyroid Cancer in 1,504 Patients Referred for Thyroid Surgery with Assumed Benign Histology

Conclusions: The risk of malignancy of 7.6% and 6.8% was high, considering that patients with malignant FNA, suspicious FNA, or clinical findings indicating malignancy were excluded, and 2.2% of these malignancies were stages T2 –4. In cases with solitary solid tumour on ultrasound, the risk of malignancy should not be ignored, even with benign FNA.Eur Thyroid J
